...difference is not a matter of discipline but of treatment. In previous wars Negro troops were just as heroic, disciplined and devoted as at present, but they were then subjected to official, systematic insult, discrimination, humiliation and frameups in efforts to discredit them. Thanks to the pioneer work of President Harry S Truman, segregation in the armed forces has been virtually eliminated, and the Negro, in the main, has been accepted on the same basis as other fighting men. As a result, the U.S. military establishment is now, ironically, the most democratic institution in American life, which accounts...
...history, for instance, is told in terms of Sioux war bonnets, branding irons, and presidential campaign posters picked from the collection of John DeWitt, chairman of the Travelers Insurance Companies. Art ranges from antique duck decoys to banners of pop art; rock 'n' roll gets the silent treatment with a collection of famous guitars, including the favorite: Presley's own. Male individuality is illustrated with a collection of 300 hats; the universality of childhood with a jungle-gymful of Raggedy Ann dolls and a 20-minute film of children playing...
Discarded too--if the House has its way--will be the several years worth of careful court litigation required so far to arrive at just procedures for the treatment of conscientious objectors.

The intention was not to punish children but to "treat" them, and the presiding judge was given great latitude. "The highest motives and most enlightened impulses led to the system," said the court. "But in practice, juvenile court history has again demonstrated that unbridled discretion, however benevolently motivated, is frequently a poor substitute for principle and procedure...
Pederast Pedestal. Enlisting in the Army to forget his confused yearnings, Daniel falls into the clutches of the sort of officer who might have given the Marquis de Sade himself basic training. Under his cruel, relentless treatment Daniel suffers the nightmare extremes of the homosexual experience-castration and disembowelment-before dying. And Amos, who has become a male whore but who has still remained faithful to Daniel in his aberrational fashion, also comes to an early and bloody demise. Meanwhile, Eustace Chisholm, a self-styled poet, observes the whole story from an ascetic pederast pedestal and is somehow cleansed...
